'Friends' Actress Bonnie Somerville Married Dave McClain
On April 8, 2023, Somerville married Dave McClain at the romantic Hummingbird Nest Ranch in the Santa Susana Mountains. The bride walked down the aisle with her mother, Maureen. Somerville revealed:
"She raised me alone, so she's my best friend and both mom and dad to me. She always jokes, 'Now I can die in peace!' She loves Dave, and they have an amazing bond. She calls him her son."
Somerville wore a stunning off-the-shoulder lace gown with softly draping band sleeves. The dress flared into a tulip-shape skirt and a long, dramatic train.
Somerville's mother, Maureen, wore a full-length, elegant pale grey dress with an embroidered tulle overlay and sheer sleeves. The bride carried a bouquet of old-fashioned roses.
Bonnie Met Her Husband Dave on a Dating App
Somerville admitted that when she met McClain, she'd stopped expecting to find love, let alone through an online dating app. She recalled:
"I hadn't been on the app very long, and never checked in. I was shooting Blue Bloods and was showing an actor how the dating apps work, and I randomly saw a message that this guy used his one-time extension to meet me."
The guy was Dave McClain, and his smile led Somerville to swipe and reply to his text. Texts led to hours-long conversations, then to a first date. Somerville knew "right away" that McClain was "the one."
Dave Describes Himself as a Guitarist and Runner
Dave McClain is a tall, handsome silver fox with a wide winning smile and an athletic build, and he complements Somerville's petite beauty perfectly. He describes himself on Twitter as:
"Diet Coke Fiend / Semi-Avid Runner / Broncos Apologist / Expert Skier / Adequate Guitarist / Nonfiction Co-Founder / Devoted Dad / @BonSomerville Fan Club Prez."
McClain is described as a "creative director," but he is in fact, a successful entrepreneur and the co-founder of the Nonfiction Agency, providing PR, creative, marketing, and digital services.
McCain also has musical talent, and he and Somerville sang a duet for their guests at their wedding. Meanwhile, McClain has made Somerville a stepmom to his two lovely daughters from a previous relationship, Skyler and Alexa.
He frequently shares photos of his two daughters on his Instagram account and is clearly a devoted dad. In one of his posts, he shared a video of himself and Skyler playing guitar together, and she has inherited dad's talent.
In another post, McClain shared a gallery of photos of a family outing at which Somerville and the girls were present. The new family looks happy and relaxed, despite the lack of the wildflowers they'd come to see.
